Disclosure SAMHDA does not disclose, give, sell or transfer any personal information about our visitors, unless required for law enforcement or statute. Intrusion Detection For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, we employ software programs to monitor traffic and to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information or to otherwise cause damage. In the event of authorized law enforcement investigations, and pursuant to any required legal process, information from these sources may be used to help identify an individual. Systems of Records Information originally collected in traditional paper systems can be submitted electronically, i.e., electronic commerce transactions and information updates about eligibility benefits. Electronically submitted information is maintained and destroyed pursuant to the Federal Records Act, and in some cases may be subject to the Privacy Act. If information that you submit is to be used in a Privacy Act system of records, there will be a Privacy Act Notice provided. SAMHDA is sponsored by the Office of Applied Studies (OAS), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). You can view SAMHSA's privacy policy at http://www.samhsa.gov/privacy.aspx If you are at an ICPSR Direct institution, and you create/use a MyData account to download data, and you do not choose to opt out during account creation/editing, your download statistics (without identifying information) will be reported to the appointed representative at your institution. If you choose to opt out, the identifying information will be removed from those reports. If you do not use a MyData account and/or are not at an ICPSR Direct institution, this does not affect you.
